THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

December 26th 1952.

Dear Roy

I hope you will come to the concert on the 21^st, and also to the rehearsal. At present I have disposed of all my complimentary tickets, but I feel sure you could get one, and also a rehearsal ticket under your own steam. But if you have any difficulty let me know.
 You remember the whistling horn at Manchester? I got the BBC hornist to do it for me the other day. Do you think it would be feasable,¹ supposing the wheel-with-the-greasepaper man does not come off? He suggested two horns, carrying on from one another, when one got blown. Do you think there is anything in the idea?
